Our Program

2018 - 2019 School Year

Our faith based educational programs are offered for children ages two through five. Monthly tuition fees are paid on the first class meeting of each month; checks should be made payable to WUMC Weekday School. A $50.00 nonrefundable registration fee per family is due at registration. A supply and activity fee is due at the first class meeting in September ($50/2 day classes, $75/3 day classes, $100/5 day classes). Group size is limited to no more than 10 children to one teacher ratio. As required by the state: a health inventory with a doctor's signature, immunization record, and emergency information card must be on file for each child in attendance. (Forms are provided by MSDE).

Most morning classes meet from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. with the exception of Young 3's and 3's. These classes meet from 9:00 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.

The Transitional K class meets from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

Afternoon programs meet from 12:15 p.m. - 3:15 p.m.

Lunch Bunch will be offered to our morning 4s and Pre-K classes in 8 week sessions 2 or 3 times a week, depending on participation. Unfortunately the timing of the afternoon classes does not allow lunch bunch for those students.

Regular conferences are scheduled during January and April. Two day a week classes are only scheduled for January conferences due to limited class time. We provide age appropriate assessments that focus on cognitive, social, and behavioral development. These conferences are 15-20 minutes in length and are held during normal class time. The children do not attend Weekday School on these days.

Program Descriptions

YOUNG 3’S: This program is designed to be a mixed-age group for children ages two or three years. Supervised play, art and craft activities, and alternating quiet and active times describe a bit of the routine. Toilet training is not required. A Teacher's Assistant is always present. Disposable diapers or pull-ups are supplied by the parent, as needed. Young 3s will need to be 3 by March 1, 2019. Students meet two mornings per week for 2.5 hours.

PROGRAM FOR THREES: The three’s classes meet two days per week for 2.5 hours. Groups are limited to 10 children per 1 teacher ratio. To be eligible for the threes, a child must be 3 years old by September 1, 2018. Toilet training is required. This program is designed for students who are experiencing school and/or any structured time away from mom and dad for the first time.

PROGRAM FOR OLDER THREES: The Older 3s classes meet three days a week for 3 hours. Groups are limited to 10 children per 1 teacher ratio. To be eligible for the Older 3s, a child will need to be 3 by March 1, 2018. Toilet training is required.

PROGRAM FOR FOURS AND PRE-K: Groups are limited to 10 children per 1 teacher ratio. The child must be 4 years old by September 1, 2018 (some exceptions will be made for the 4s program which will allow students with September birthdays to enter early - must turn 4 by September 30, 2018).

Both programs work off of the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum and learn with math manipulatives. The Pre-K class works at a faster pace since they meet five days a week.
